• Also, tell your doctor if you are taking any other medications or supplements.
• Along with Shelcal HD tablet, take a healthy diet enriched with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
• Vitamin D helps the small intestine absorb calcium. Calcium and phosphorus work together to strengthen bones. A balanced diet with enough vitamin D and calcium supports healthy bones.
• Take it with or just after food. Calcium carbonate needs stomach acid to dissolve and is poorly absorbed on an empty stomach or alongside an acid-reducing medicine.
• If you take more than one tablet a day, space them rather than taking them together. The body absorbs only a limited amount of calcium at a time.
• Keep at least a two-hour gap from iron supplements and antibiotics such as doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, or levofloxacin, and at least four hours from a thyroid tablet.
• Avoid taking it with bran, high-fibre food or large amounts of spinach, which bind calcium and reduce absorption.
• Constipation and bloating are the usual complaints. More water, more fibre through the day and regular activity generally help.
• Tell your doctor before starting if you have had kidney stones, kidney disease, a high blood calcium level or sarcoidosis, and report persistent thirst, frequent urination, nausea or confusion.
• Calcium and vitamin D work alongside weight-bearing exercise and adequate protein; a supplement by itself does less for bone strength than the combination.

• Shelcal HD tablet contains calcium and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol /Cholecalciferol).
• Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body and is essential for critical metabolic functions. Most prominently, it is required for building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth. It also plays a crucial role in nerve transmission, muscle function, cellular signalling, and hormone secretion.
• Vitamin D3 plays a very crucial role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the intestine, which is critical for the formation, growth and regeneration of bones. It supports healthy bones and teeth. It also plays a role in cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation.
